Didn't lather up during the shower today so still working on the proper load and build times for that scenario. Ended up being a little thin on the third pass, but managed okay all the same. I didn't have quite as much extra lather than yesterday, so likely I just need to load a bit more.

Today was the first time I felt some tugging on the first WTG pass. Part of me is very worried about what that means for this blade for the rest of the month, but the slightly more experienced part of me who has been working on pushing my DE blades past double digits more knows that I can still get plenty of good shaves out of this, there will be better days ahead and I just need to keep working on the variables that are under my control, namely the lather and razor technique. I know that I still have a lot to learn about this razor, I am enjoying it so far. It seems very efficient in that I feel like I am getting closer shaves than my favored Karve CB using the same 2.5 pass approach.
